I wish you the absolute best, do what works for you. you are an amazing human being, and you have my complete support in getting healthier. you deserve to be happy with yourself, because you have always been such a bright light in everyone else&#39;s life, especially mine. I can&#39;t wait to follow you in your journey, and am very honored you have included me in it. :) best of luck! I&#39;m like the wonder-bra, i give maximum support! :)- AndreaCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01662583686213837566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680786329209453456.post-16877579224679372372010-11-15T17:29:43.861-08:002010-11-15T17:29:43.861-08:00There isn&#39;t anyone who can even pretend to be ...There isn&#39;t anyone who can even pretend to be in your shoes, know how you feel or who&#39;s words of supports will even come close to being in the driving force that you need to accomplish this. My thoughts only! I think that you&#39;re the only one who has it! And I know you do. I know what it is like to be a thin person then to blow up. Then you get caught up in the infinite depression spiral that only causes more depression and even more numbers to pile up on the scale. But it&#39;s YOU MAC! You&#39;re the only one that will be able to tame this demon. I think it&#39;s a great journey that you&#39;ve embarked on, an even braver one coming here for the whole world to know! You&#39;re failures and success will bring you joy, pain, tears and smiles, but know that you&#39;ll have them. You will have success! With much love I send you a &quot;Boa Sorte e boa viagem&quot;!!! - Paula (PS I&#39;m under Daniel&#39;s name)Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571813362854253610noreply@blogger.com
